AUGUSTA, Ga. — Golf enthusiasts are not the only ones gobbling up tickets for this year’s Masters in Augusta, Georgia.

A Seattle man nearly missed out on a trip of a lifetime after his dog devoured four tickets to Wednesday’s practice round.

Russ Berkman told KJR sports radio Tuesday he returned to his home Saturday night to discover that his Swiss Mountain Dog, Sierra, had turned his coveted Augusta National passes into a tasty treat.

“When I walked in the house, I noticed that there was a few strings on my hardwood floor that looked like the strings that were connected to my Masters tickets,” Berkman said.

With the ticket office closed until Monday and Berkman just hours away from a Sunday morning flight with three friends, he made a panicked call to his girlfriend who recommended he make the pooch puke.

“There’s a little known trick out there that if you give them hydrogen peroxide it basically bubbles in their stomach — it’s very safe — and it makes them puke in about 10 minutes.”

The trick worked and Sierra’s snack quickly revealed itself in a pile of vomit.

“I grabbed a spatula, put it in a Ziploc baggie and brought it inside on my kitchen counter and started a CSI or a surgical-type process to figure out what was going to be salvageable, if anything,” he told the radio station.

Berkman said he managed to get “about 70 percent of all four tickets put back together,” but he and his pals were forced to board a flight wondering whether their Masters dream had been derailed.

Fortunately for Berkman, however, the Masters ticket office — after some initial skepticism — agreed to reprint the four tickets to Wednesday’s event.
